About Tayyauba
Tayyauba Sheikh uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside relational and client-centred approaches to help people feel heard and understood. She works in a warm, respectful way and aims to create a calm space for conversation. Tayyauba has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP and NCPS credentials.
She helps people managing stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those coping with bereavement, relationship strain, family conflict and parenting challenges.
Background and approach
Problems with intimacy, self-esteem, anger and addictions are also within her focus. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. Sessions are largely talk-based, with attention to emotions and patterns that keep people stuck.
Mindfulness techniques and psychodynamic reflections may be used when helpful. Tayyauba adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs. She is willing to consider pharmaceutical options alongside talking therapy if they are appropriate for the person.
Practical steps, small experiments and clearer communication skills are typical parts of her approach. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. People can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging depending on what fits their life and needs.
The first step is a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling that suits both parties.

Online support
Emotion and attachment work delivered online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and change painful emotional patterns by focusing on core feelings that drive behaviour. It can be useful for anxiety, grief, relationship strain and intimacy issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional responses and aims to build safer ways of relating and communicating.Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, with the therapist offering acceptance and gentle guidance to help people find their own solutions. Tayyauba uses these approaches together, and she will work collaboratively to choose the methods that best match a person's goals and preferences. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process and will be discussed openly in early sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, offering flexibility for busy lives. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work, while live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter exchanges. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and to fit therapy around daily commitments.
